Dumas ISD Parents & Staff,
DISD has become aware of an issue that involves two individuals driving from Wyoming to Texas with the possible goal of a school shooting at a non-specified Texas Elementary School. While none of the Dumas ISD Elementary Schools have been identified, our location certainly makes Dumas ISD a possible path through Texas from Wyoming.
Dumas ISD has taken the following precautions:
1) The District ISD Police Department has been in communication with local Law Enforcement, and all are very aware of the situation.
2) Exterior doors at each campus are locked and secure.
2) We have asked the Elementary Schools to have no outside activities today.
3) Police and/or armed staff will monitor dismissal at all campuses.
Unfortunately, in 2024, this is the world we live in. Our outstanding staff is committed to taking all necessary steps to keep our children safe.
The State Board of Education (SBOE) issued and adopted materials for Proclamation 2024 for science, grades K–12; technology applications, grades K–8; Personal Financial Literacy and Economics; and several CTE courses. The district is in the process of reviewing and selecting materials. The adopted materials will go into classrooms in the 2024–25 school year. You can see what we can adopt, check out samples, and see how they were reviewed at the links below.

If you want to see how they reviewed them with the rubric, what TEKS were not at 100% and why, go to this link. https://texasresourcereview.org/search-single
Due to unsafe driving conditions, school will be cancelled Tuesday January 9, 2024. Classes will resume on Wednesday. Stay safe!
The Dumas vs Decatur bi-district playoff football game will be broadcast live on the @DumasISD YouTube channel starting at 7:00 PM on Thursday Nov. 9th.

Swift Response to Incident, Ensures Student Safety
At approximately 5:30 PM on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, Dumas ISD was made aware of a terroristic threat made by a Dumas High School student towards another Dumas High School student.
The student responsible has been apprehended and is now in the custody of the local law enforcement agency. I would like to extend gratitude to both the Dumas City Police Department and the DISD Police Department for their swift and coordinated response.
DISD remains dedicated to fostering a safe and secure educational environment. Parents are encouraged to engage in conversations with their children about reporting any concerning activities to school district administrators or staff.
As this involves confidential student information DISD will not comment further on this matter. Please rest assured that DISD takes all threats seriously and will act quickly and responsively to address concerns.
